Hand in hand

[Bill Poster]

You ever noticed how many times Morrissey simply talks about holding somebody's hand? Sheila Take A Bow, Hand In Glove, What Do You See In Him...sure there are others but I can't think of them. How charmingly teenage. He just wanted somebody to hold his hand.

Re: Hand in hand.

I think he both loves and hates human contact in equal measure.

Don't forget the lyrics in I'm Not Sorry

Re: Hand in hand.

"Hand in glove/the sun shines out of our behinds." (Slightly specious)

"Take my hand and off we stride."

"She's the lifeblood of me/As you walk hand in hand."

"I'm saved, I'm saved, you took my hand." (early version of These Things Take Time played in the Hacienda in 1983)

"Reach for my hand, And, And the race is won/Reject my hand, And, The damage is done"

"Then on the sand/another man he takes her hand."

Feel free to add your own...

It's not really that many then is it?

Only looked at the first two Smiths albums, and there is a HUGE amount of other Moz material other than those two. Just couldn't be bothered looking through the other lyrics the other day. Maybe never will be bothered.
